This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) provides $325,000.00 to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to develop 3D-integrated micro-photometer chips for monitoring neural dynamics in the brain. The project aims to elucidate the effects of beam collimation, compact chip size, and mechanical flexibility of implantable optoelectronic probes on the quality of in vivo deep-brain fluorescence recordings. The research team plans to vertically integrate inorganic single-crystalline LED and photodiode films, distributed Bragg reflectors, and absorption filters to create 3D-integrated micro-photometer chips that are much smaller and more flexible than conventional probes. This is expected to enable minimally invasive, long-term stable, and high-quality fluorescence recording in delicate brain regions, which could enhance the understanding of brain functions and neurological diseases. The award has an end date of July 31, 2028.
